      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Descent 2 goes spelunking for its predecessors' unnerving power but never digs beyond surface chills, although this efficient splatterfest contains enough nasty set pieces to sate the gore-prone.

      Kassidy R SPOILERS Wasn't attached to new characters. Old characters were okay. Everybody died. Who even was that old man? Ending sucked. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Nina E It would do better as a stand alone movie. The first one was definitely a tough act to follow. I'm guessing they did a director change because they wanted the sequel to feel different. It did feel different, obviously, because of the not an all-female cast like the first one as we are introduced to a very male country sheriff and hunky search and rescue guys. There are some plot inconsistencies but also some of the set still left intact from the first, for example, we see Sam still hanging lifeless as we left her. The ending was setting up a 3-quel that was never made. 😔 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Jeffrey P More visually bland than the predecessor which I felt was a visual bore. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Cluedo Not as good as the first one because the mystery isnt there anymore but its cool to see them walking the same path as the others and encountering known faces Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Ben D A sequel that disappoints by copying the great original. And boy oh boy I was extremely pissed off from the ending. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Brett P The Descent is a very highly regarded horror movie that I wasn't really a big fan of. I saw it had a sequel, so I said, why not watch it? That was a big mistake on my part. This movie stinks. It takes place immediately after the first film's events, and the plot continues to fall apart after the first 15 minutes of the movie. It makes no sense whatsoever and takes you out of the overall experience. The characters gel together and feel so lifeless that I could not care if they died. The pacing is so slow, and it got incredibly dull really fast. I would say the only good thing about this movie is that the dialogue is surprisingly good.

      Nev Pierce Empire Magazine An uninspired retread of a horror classic, this tries hard to justify its existence... and fails. Rated: 2/5 Dec 4, 2009 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out Harris's direction is messy, favouring confusing set-piece scares over the all-important group dynamics. Rated: 2/5 Dec 4, 2009 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) The first-time director Jon Harris recreates the sense of airless, claustrophobic panic that worked so effectively the first time around and cranks up the yuck factor exponentially. Rated: 3/5 Dec 4, 2009 Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting If nothing else, the sequel has senseless Crawler action in spades, and there is an attempt at a happier ending for those who found the original film’s conclusion too gloomy. Rated: 2/5 Aug 27, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Despite its regression into full-fledged schlock mode, this horror sequel didn’t deserve the direct-to-video treatment. Rated: 2/4 Aug 21, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry The Descent: Part 2 becomes just another hopeless sequel engulfed by the darkness. Aug 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
